"Elana." This time, you grab her arm. "I need you to trust me, okay?"
"Um. Okay?"
You stare into her eyes. People who care more for self-preservation than you do go barreling past. Doe-Elana lifts an eyebrow as your mouth turns dry.
"Uh..."
God damn it, you forgot where you were going with this. It's hard to be dramatic in the middle of a crisis! Doe-Elana's antler-bells jingle when she tilts her head.
Right, your trading cards. Right. Of course.
"Take my Chalice of Restoration," you say, pulling the card from your deck. "It's the first card I ever won in competitive play. I want you to hold on to it until I find Barth."
"When people start giving their valuables away, it's never a good sign... but I don't think you'll let me fight you on this, huh?"
"I'll be back. We both will." You press the card into her hands. "Barth's like a brother to me; I can't just leave him."
Doe-Elana flickers a wry smile. "I know. Come back safe."
You pocket your deck and force a smile back. Your heart hammers against your ribs. Before your better judgement can interfere, you spin on your heel and run toward town square.
